How to Save Bookmarks in Google
Almost every Web browser has a feature for storing your favorite or most visited websites. However, if you use multiple browsers or work on several computers, all of your bookmarked sites are stored in different places. Google Bookmarks solves this problem by keeping one comprehensive list of all your favorite sites that can be accessed from any computer or browser. With Google Bookmarks, you can sort your bookmarks into lists and share them with your contacts.

Tips & Warnings
The Google Toolbar, available as a free download, has buttons for adding and accessing your Google Bookmarks.
Do not download the Google toolbar at work unless you have permission. You may use it if it is already on there, but be sure to sign out for security reasons when you are finished.

Not only do I have google bookmarks, I also have yahoo. I tend to use one for business links and one for personal favorites. Between the two, no matter how many times I crash, I can always get back to my favorite sites. -

I've had the Google toolbar for awhile, but haven't really paid attention to it (doh!) - thanks for this great article! Now, no matter where I am, I can save my favorites!

This is so nice. I use it for work because I have tons of links I have to have to do my job. Then I set my homepage to it. Oh well now if the IT department decides to "fix" my computer for me.
